Rejina Pyo and & Other Stories Spring Co-Lab Is Made From Premium Silk and Sustainable Cotton
& Other Stories is celebrating the spring season with a gorgeous co-lab collection by South Korean-born, London-based designer Rejina Pyo. Known for her signature take on relaxed elegance, Rejina Pyo’s capsule collection with & Other Stories is created from luxe silk, sustainably sourced organic cotton, and wool sourced through the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS). “With this co-lab, I wanted to create an accessible and versatile collection, but crucially, to craft it from a combination of sustainably sourced and long-lasting premium materials,” Rejina Pyo said in a press statement. “I had the busy woman in mind — constantly on the go, moving from work to play, day to night – and wanted to offer a selection of designs inspired by signature Rejina Pyo pieces.&...
Andra Day May Have Landed the Role of a Lifetime, But She’s Only Just Begun
Although some might consider Day an activist (her chart-topping single “Rise Up” has become the unofficial anthem for Black Lives Matter, for instance), it’s not actually a term she identifies with. “It’s so funny to hear the word ‘activist’ because I don’t think of myself as one,” she chuckles. “I know that people would say that probably sounds very cliché and humble-but-not-humble, but I don’t. I want people to know that I love God, and I want people to encounter that when they encounter me. These ascribed titles, I don’t give them to myself, and, you know, Billie didn’t either. It’s just wanting to help people and wanting to serve more than anything. I’m a servant. That’s what it is, and that’s the best way I can describe it. In my mind, I have this beautiful picture of eternity, just r...
I Polled 11 People for Their Favourite Eye Shadow Brands—These Are the Results
When it comes to makeup products, I normally don’t give eye shadows that much thought. Sure, I use them, but I’m not too picky about which brands I use. My makeup priorities revolve around foundations, concealers, and mascaras. I can be pretty choosy when it comes to those types of products. But of course, not all eye shadows are created equally. In addition to the shade choices, there are also other factors to think about, such as pigment, finish, and staying power. You want a formula that won’t crease or cake. And it also depends on the type of eye makeup look you’re going for. Some people might want something natural and subtle; others might want something highly saturated. Whatever the case, I asked my colleagues and a few makeup artists to p...
French Women Swear By These 6 Lingerie Brands
Honestly, I don’t think there’ll ever be a time when I’m not obsessed with French style. When I think about the women who influence me the most, it’s Caroline de Maigret, Michele Lamy and Jane Birkin (she might be British, but her style is unmistakably French). And as Paris continues to be home to some of the biggest fashion houses in the world and the inhabitants of the French capital continue to be purveyors of effortless style, I don’t see this love affair ending any time soon. While we often talk about how les femmes françaises know how to create the ultimate chic wardrobe (ballet pumps, a Breton top and a pair of classic blue jeans), there’s one area of their attire that we don’t talk enough about: lingerie. Much like their clot...
I Don’t Wear Florals, But These 20 Buys Just Might Change My Mind
This week, H&M dropped its A Meadow of Wildflowers collection, an edit of dresses, tops and skirts all embellished with hand-painted watercolour flowers (insert compulsory Miranda Priestly quote about spring). For someone who very rarely wears anything botanically embellished, I was surprised to find myself won over by the unashamedly pretty prints, and on reflection, it seems as though quite a few high-street brands have been offering up fresh takes on this traditional graphic this season.

3 Pairs of Spring Shoes Our Editors Swear Are as Comfy as Trainers
There’s no doubt that over the last year, many of us have spent more time walking than ever before. With nowhere to go and no one to see, the daily lap around the block or local park became an outing to look forward to and often the only opportunity we’d have to socialise. While this newfound obsession with getting in our 10,000 steps or adding to our kilometre count on Strava has of course been beneficial from a health perspective, it has also meant that we’ve spent much of the year in sneakers, and quite frankly, I’m ready for a change. Therefore, Team Who What Wear set out to find some spring shoes that could work as an alternative to trainers, keeping in mind that many of our outings now include a commute on foot. Each editor selected a ...
8 Simple Spring Outfits That Look Timeless
The fashion pendulum is swinging heavily towards a more pared-down approach to dressing this season. Sure, the art of maximalism remains relevant, but there’s an overarching sense of bringing it back to the basics for spring with the evolution of wearable pieces throughout the S/S 21 collections (noting trends like reimagined trench coats and modern denim). And thus, the notion of a “make-under” enters the spotlight. I interpret a “make-under” as a concept that applies strictly to fashion with an emphasis on uncomplicated outfits that are easy to put together with simple, no-fuss pieces. Essentially, effortless and straightforward ensembles that can actually work within a range of people’s day-to-day life. Think classic crew-neck sweaters, stra...
The Throwback Bag Trend You Really Don’t Need to Spend a Lot On
If there’s one accessory that epitomises the ’90s, it’s surely the baguette bag. Just one glimpse at its teeny proportions and dainty shoulder strap will take you thundering down memory lane to a time when jeans were low-slung and crop-tops were in plentiful supply. For me, the trend has connotations of chick-flick heroines, glamazon girl-band members and, well, Regina George. As an accessory, it certainly had a particular ‘look’ attached to it.

5 Interior Trends We Can’t Stop Clicking on This Season
While our wardrobes experienced a cooling-off period over the course of 2020 and into 2021, our homes, and everything in them, have been working overtime—quite literally. Even for those of us who wouldn’t previously call ourselves interior fanatics, lockdown has inspired us to become experts in all aspects of homeware thanks to the increase in the time we’ve spent within our four walls. Invariably, this has caused a wave of new interior trends to flood social media, and of course, we’ve become adept at spotting these winning looks. The mood of the moment seems to point to a craving for colour and personality, from the sinuosity of Gustaf Westman’s wavy edge mirrors and the quirky appeal of rainbow gingham to Matilda Goad’s si...
I Usually Don’t Like Floral Perfumes, But These 15 Have Changed My Mind
I have shelves and shelves full of perfumes that I just can’t let go of. From ouds and musks to citruses and florals, I own a perfume for every occasion. And while I spent the best part of the past year trying to make my strong scents work in my new way of living, it was always niggling away in the back of my brain that there were a bunch of wildly unloved, but beautiful, perfumes collecting dust in my cabinets. And so, a few weeks ago, I finally accepted that my beloved woody scents had served their purpose, and it was time for the lighter, floral perfumes to take centre stage. But that’s not to say I have totally changed my tune. Sure, I’m ready to embrace the uplifting, lightweight freshness of florals, but my perfumes of choice still need to possess a certain je ne sais quoi. The...
By 2030, H&M Will Only Use Recycled Materials, and Maisie Williams Is Making Sure of It
“Looop it” is H&M’s new campaign to close the loop in fashion and formally commit to only using recycled and sustainably sourced materials by the year 2030. The ambitious and critically necessary initiative will be held accountable by the brand’s ambassador Maisie Williams, while one of the leading retailers in high street fashion moves toward creating a truly circular fashion industry. “I will be working closely with experts within H&M to drive sustainability initiatives and shape the path towards an accessible and circular fashion future,” Maisie Williams said in a press statement. “The longterm goal is to use 100-percent recycled or other sustainably sourced materials for textiles across the full H&M Group brands by 2030. It’s ...
Dark Academia Is the Latest Trend You’re Going to Hear a Lot About
Remember last year’s Cottagecore trend? Well, here comes fashion, ready to give us yet another trend with a questionable moniker. This time, it’s Dark Academia. While it absolutely sounds like a class that would be taught at Hogwarts, it’s actually much more about fashion than it sounds. The Dark Academia aesthetic takes its origins from Donna Tart’s novel The Secret History, and is, in essence, about wearing blazers and looking like you love reading. In recent years, and especially in 2021, it’s picked up speed thanks to Tik Tok. Over the past few months, the trend has been spiking on Google Trends with searches starting to go up in October 2020 and hitting a high in February this year. From what I can gather, this look is all about a par...
